Shafts are critical machine parts used to transmit rotational power and torque between different components in mechanical systems. They are typically long, cylindrical rods made of high-strength materials such as steel or titanium. Shafts come in various lengths, diameters, and shapes, depending on the specific application and load requirements.
The surface of the shafts is often treated with coatings or finishes to enhance their resistance to wear, corrosion, and fatigue. Shafts may also feature keyways, splines, or threads to connect with other mechanical components such as gears, pulleys, or bearings. With their high strength, durability, and precise engineering, shafts play a crucial role in the efficient operation of many industrial, automotive, and aerospace systems.
